Sources tell ABC News that President Obama has decided that he will nominate Sen. John Kerry, D-Mass., to be secretary of state.
For a variety of reasons including the finalization of the process, other pending Cabinet decisions, and - more immediately - the national reaction to the tragic shooting at Sandy Hook Elementary School, the news will not be announced in the next few days.
Secretary of State Hillary Clinton, who is recovering from an illness and a concussion she suffered upon fainting because of that illness, is set to retire in the next few weeks.

Rice would have been a better pick. Susan Rice's problem was that she was told to go out and parrot the CIA talking points she was given. If she doesn't do that, she probably loses her job and any shot at SOS. I think Republicans went too far. Sigh... now we're stuck with John f-ing Kerry.

Scott Brown may be a moderate on some things, but he also personally insured that $19 billion of tax payer money would go to the biggest banks (that was the price for his vote on the financial reform bill).
